Geocaching AKA High tech treasure hunt
    -So once you've found the treasure box, you'll discover a
log book for you to leave a message in (and of course
you'll also have the satisfaction of finding the box, a
reward in itself).
    -The box may also contain a strange array of trinkets that
people have left to swap. If you take a treasure out of the
box, you should leave another trinket in its place, so
come prepared
